[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gg_99:
So I'm running the Wild for the Night CM10.1 build and am getting used to new features in 10.1, and in this case the camera. In previous CM versions there was an icon/preview that would take me directly to the Gallery app from the Camera app. I don't see an obvious way to do this with the 10.1 camera. Am I missing something? It's not a lot of work to go back to my list of apps and select Gallery, but it is something I find myself doing over and over again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
Try swiping to the left. The new camera app is linked to the gallery directly, so treat the camera as if it is the first picture in your gallery; "swipe to see the next picture" if you will.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] PjBendejo:
Hi there, hopefully some one could help, i have a galaxy w i8150,The issue is when you turn the phone on its not loading android,it sticks on the samsung logo.i have tryed a factory restore using the recovery utilities but to no avail still sticks,now the question is how do i reload the OS or even the ics upgrade without being able to install clock work and or root the phone?

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mosta_9741:
all im telling you will b depending on the ability to get to ur recovery or at least download mode

1st if u already have CWM recovery and able to access it then go pristine then install any custom rom you want

2nd if u dont have CWM recovery or you can't access it then ull have to go to download mode and install the recovery from thr (using odin of course) then do 1st step

3rd if its not working for you then install stock rom using download mode and odin

4th if u can't even get to download mode then ur hard bricked :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
So, from what I read I know that you're just having a soft brick. You want to keep your warranty by not rooting or installing a custom recovery, right?

The only possible way is to flash a stock Rom using Odin. You can't upgrade to ICS because we don't have any stock ones, so as soon as you upgrade you get root and lose you warranty.

Hope I helped ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
1st step. Chill down.

Now. Allow your device to remain idle with battery removed for around 30 minutes.

If you already had CWM. Do these accordingly.

1. Fix permission

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe data/Factory reset

4. Wipe everything wipable in Mounts& Storage list(EXCEPT EXTERNAL SD).

5. Wipe dalvik

6. Wipe cache again

7. Fix Permission(above is the Pristine Method)

8. Restart Recovery

9(optionA). Flash your ROM in if you want custom(and gapps in needed) Then fix permission again.

9(optionB). Quit recover and enter download mode and Restore stock ROM in using ODIN.

If I did not mistake the situation, I experienced similar situations once. At least such steps got me out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Really nice tutorial buddy :) But most of the people are not able to restore IMEI because they dont have IMEI backup. I am really looking for such a tutorial where IMEI can be restored without IMEI backup.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
its a useful experiment and can help many of us :)

nice guide ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Yeah it need backup to restore.

But some members did have initially but srew it more worst than lost the last chance to restore.

Most of tham is flashing failed. So the nv_data.bak is still safe. However cant mount stl3, so restoring failed. No even efs pro can restored when stl3 cant mount.

So flashing efs.tar on odin pda is the most imp step. Afthe mounted the efs folder than you have alot of way to restore. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arjun08:
good guide, very useful to others but to me no luck my IMEI and Baseband is till unknown. im hoping i can borrow nandroid backup for i9003 so i can restore it and repair the IMEI using z3x box
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
@arjun08

what is the condition of your nv_data.bak or nv_data.bin? is it still the original ?

if yes, im sure this way can help. did you try ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arjun08:
.nv_core.bak 10/12/2012

.nv_core.bak.md5 10/12/2012

.nv_data.bak 10/12/2012

.nv_data.bak.md5 10/12/2012

.nv_state 11/27/2010

the phone lost its IMEI in november 2012 the .nv files was dated in october 2012 i don't know if it is the original files.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
what is the nv_data.bin date?

try below cmd in adb and post the screen out put

adb shell

su

df

to see is your efs folder mounted

edit: something happening on 27/Nov, cause your nv_state changed.

it is very high change to get back imei. backup all those file incase you need to try and error.

you need to do is mount back your efs folder using efs.tar flash unsing odin 1.85

1. flash back to stock file system, just the pit and xxkpe

2. root it with cf-root kernel

3. flash efs.tar

4. install what ever root file manager.

5. check efs folder owner and group, should be radio system in GB stock

6. delete all file in efs folder (including nv_data.bak)

7. copy and rename nv_data.bak (from your backup) to nv_data.bin and set owner and group to radio radio in efs folder

8. set permission to rwx------

9. reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arjun08:
nv_data.bin 10/12/2012

done steps 1-4

confusing :( im not a pro in this kind of thing,i didn't understand 5, 7 and 8

5. how should i check efs folder owner and group

7. how should i do this, set owner and group to radio radio in efs folder

8. set permission to rwx------ how to change this.. for now i saw rwxrwx--x in efs
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
you have done step 1 to 4 , did you backup the old nv_data.bak and nv_data.bin

ok, if you have backup the old efs file before you flash efs.tar, than

you can use the terminal type

ls -l

than,

assuming you have root your phone (if not flash cf-root first)

use root explorer to delete all the file in efs folder

copy the original nv_data.bak (the bak file before you flash efs.tar) into the folder and rename it to nv_data.bin

in terminal type below command

su

cd efs

ls -l

chmod 700 nv_data.bin

chown radio nv_data.bin

chgrp radio nv_data.bin

reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arjun08:
im almost done but when i type this

chgrp radio nv_data.bin ------ chgrp: not found

this is the only error i got
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
try type

chown 1001:radio nv_data.bin

or

chown radio.radio nv_data.bin
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arjun08:
done all, no luck didnt get my IMEI back

i wonder if i put other efs backup from other person the same phone i9003 will that works?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
if he or she willing to share with you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Under03Ground:
I really dont get it. Err!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
@Under03

check you efs partition in mounted, do the below step in adb shell.

df >/sdcard/df.txt

ls -a -l efs >/sdcard.efs.txt

mount >/sdcard/mount.txt

cat /proc/partitions >/sdcard/cat.txt

noted:

df to show you mounted partition

ls to list out the efs file (including the hidden file)

mount to show all the mount point

cat is to show all the partition list. (efs partition is stl3)

the > text file, it out the result of the command to text file so you can forward it to me to have alook.

attach or forward me the text in reply.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MacPatten:
New guy here.

I recently purchased an AT&T i727 with the plan to use the bring your own phone program with straight talk. Even with the sim card activated, the phone reads "No Sim Card. Emergency Calls Only". I've used the sim card in other phones, so I know it's functional. I've rooted the phone and installed different roms, but I still get the same error. I can't edit any of the APN or network settings because it tells me I need to have a sim card inserted to do so.

I feel like I'm not super clueless at things like this, but I've done everything I know how to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Take it easy on me guys.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Sound like the phone isn't unlocked. There is a thread here on how to unlock it for free. Look in the general section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Assuming the ST SIM is at&t SIM card , and it was working before , the problem might be somewhere around your phone , either SIM card slot , bad radio or blocked-from-network Skyrocket ... is it a craigslist phone ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MacPatten:
It is an AT&T compatible ST sim. I've already entered codes to unlock it and they all said the unlock was successful.

I actually purchased the phone on eBay. (I'm sure everyone will laugh upon reading that)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xpl0ziV9:
If the sim card works in other phones and doesn't work in your skyrocket but you have it in the correct way in the sim slot then it's gonna be your sim card slot. With ST your phone doesn't have to be unlocked for the sim card to work in it. Trust me on that I'm using my skyrocket on ST and have used about 10 different AT&T phones on ST and none of them were unlocked until I sold them. You'll need to get ahold of eBay and paypal (who you hopefully used) and try and get your money back. Otherwise you have a really expensive mp3 player.

Sorry for the bad luck but that's what it looks most like to me. I used to work for AT&T and that's the logical problem. I would say try and get a warranty for it but I doubt it still has a warranty and even if it did AT&T and Samsung wouldn't do anything about it because a problem with the sim card slot is considered physical damage. You'll just have to try and get your money back for the phone.

Just my advice and $.02

[Nexus 4 General] arcanumal:
I recently broke my front screen. Sent it to LG for repair. I was surprised that LG only charged $140 for it. They were really fast too, only had the phone for 5 days. Just wanted to let people know because I've seen some screens or repair offers elsewhere online for a lot more. If you break your screen, probably best to just send it to LG.

EDIT: I should say that the repair center I was directed to was in Fort Worth, TX. So it didn't take long for the phone to get there and back either. All told I was without it for 9 days.
[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Tealc:
Good to know , how's the screen now:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] arcanumal:
Screen's pristine.
[Nexus 4 General] pakure:
I Believe it's the standard price for most screens these days. ... same price for s3 or the bigger note 2

scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
Not a bad price, consider though it's initial cost, the screen repair is 40% of a new phone. Or you could look at it like a 60% savings :D
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
They didn't mess anything up in the process?

Sent from my 5th and final Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] triStateMindgate:
Just had the same thing happen to me after owning the phone for about 3 weeks. I shipped it to Ft Worth on a Wed, they received on Friday, got the email from them with detailed info/pricing on Monday, Paid the $140 on Tuesday, they shipped the phone fixed on Thursday and I got it via FedEx on Saturday. So its about a week and a half process from sending to receiving, not bad at all.

The only thing that I will say is that in my particular case, they didn't fix my screen, they sent me a replacement device. I didn't know this until I looked at the device and the receipt. If it's a "brand new" replacement, or a refurb, I'm not sure but its in perfect condition, N4 hasn't been out for long so who knows how many actual damaged units they received and refurbed them for replacements. Not sure either why they didn't just fixed my screen and send me my unit back, all it had is a cracked screen and a impact blemish on the bezel.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
I have found that with HTC, Samsung, and now LG that in almost all cases they will send you a replacement device instead of repairing your device and sending it back. It allows for quicker turn around time and it is probably more cost effective than paying to have staff on hand to do the repairs. They will probably send your broken phone back to where it was originally made to have the repair done before selling it as a refurbished device to someone else.
[Nexus 4 General] triStateMindgate:
Makes sense, there's probably a chance that the device I received is a refurb. I guess what I'm wondering is how they decide that, a few people around XDA have had theirs fixed, instead of replaced, with the same damage to the screen as mine. Who knows :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Andrew149:
No gs3 price is $180 and note 2 is $220 from Samsung

scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
[Nexus 4 General] vikramkhalsa:
Same thing happened with me, $140 was not bad compared to any other estimates I found for local repair shops. They sent me a replacement as well - it was in perfect condition though.
[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
I've never been so happy to live in Texas. Another repair center.

When my HTC Nexus One was damaged, I was able to send it in to Houston for a repair, got it back in 2-3 days. When my Samsung Galaxy Nexus decided it no longer wanted to charge, the Samsung Repair Center was in Plano, I drove and had it repaired same day. Now I can go to Ft. Worth to get my Nexus 4 repaired(though I hope it never breaks.)
[Nexus 4 General] CodemasterRob:
Hey guys. Sorry to fire up this thread again. I had someone yank my phone out of my pocket yesterday and it smacked the ground head first. Now it has more scratches than a grade school knee scrape. Is the $140 a solid on how much they'll charge me, or does it differ? The back is pretty scratched up too. I regret not buying a case, but it's number one on my list after the repair (which is a lot for a high school student).
[Nexus 4 General] moldovanos:
I am curios if they check if device is rooted etc or fully functional, before sending out a replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] kid1da:
My experience with sending phones in is they don't. Hardware damage obviously has nothing to do with software. You could always lock the bootloader back.
[Nexus 4 General] CodemasterRob:
That you can. I started a thread earlier to see if someone would reply with a solid price, but I'm think $140 is kinda sketchy. I'm not sure if that changes or that's the standard price. If it's the standard, I might be able to replace my N4 AND get a case for the new/refurbished one.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
How is it sketchy? They are replacing just the screen/bezel and transplanting the parts back into your phone. Someone experienced could do the repair in a half hour. 140 is half the price of the phone. That is a really good deal if you ask me.
[Nexus 4 General] CodemasterRob:
I mean it seems like it could be a varying price. I just want to know what I can expect. The front and back are both scratched up and I'd like them replaced.
[Nexus 4 General] feideqing:
it is a resonable price, I gusee so

Edit: Does it automatically stop charging when connected to a computer/ nexus 7???
[General Questions and Answers] OsiBasi:
It works charging with a computer, the control has very long battery time so charging it with your phone isn't needed.

There are also dedicated wall outlets to buy for charging ps3 controllers. But they're an extra cost that¨s not needed.

I don't own a ps3 aswell, I charge it through the computer everything is safe, you need to connect it to the computer to edit the bluetooth drivers to match your phone anyway :)
[General Questions and Answers] EeyoreSyndrome:
Go get a stand alone charging stand. I only say this because hooking it up to your PC can sometimes cause it to loose Bluetooth pairing sometimes which can be a pita. Same goes for if in the event you ever wanna use it for a PS3.

I've checked the Application manager, and there is no default set on either Phone or Dialer storage app! I even froze the phone and dialer storage via Titanium, and that did close the stock dialer but still it won't allow me to use any other dialer.
